Manchester United - Premier League Champions 07-08

Manchester United won their 10th EPL title today beating Wigan 2-0 at the JJB Stadium. In what was deemed to be the closest title-race in years, Utd put up a stellar performance to win the title and deny Chelsea any last day surprise gifts. C. Ronaldo converted from the spot and Ryan Giggs - on his 758th record-equalling appearance record now shared with Sir Bobby - coolly scored in the 80th minute from a clever pass from Wayne Rooney. It sent fans into frenzy and undoubtedly, players and staff into early partying mood.

Meanwhile, Chelsea drew 1-1 at home against Bolton, so the title was not decided on goal difference as most people had expected.

Next stop Moscow: England's top two teams for a date with European folklore 10 days from now.
